hardwood handlebars

turning rabbit stew ingredients
into a microcosm for heresy
is as confounding as the motives
behind a woman’s inquest into the debauchery lifestyle
the spots of blood
the bloodshot eyes
these are things prevalent
to the inevitable sentencing
and I
am not a thing that scurries
I am a thing that defines
with some vague precision
things unfaithful (to the delusion)

wiping tarnish from the clouds
when the talisman has been altered
doesn’t mean that I don’t see
the conceit in your reprieves
it doesn’t mean I forget so easily
what my own eyes have seen

shelter under the vinyl top
of an old Camaro
fills my ears
with memories of escapist summers
below the mexican border
no boxes to pack
no letters to sign
just a longing
and the rest of your life

passing shadows

Love that line.
